I flew from KRLD (Richland, WA) Aug 12, taking off at 2 pm. Once airborne, two active TFRs showed on the screen, one just west of R6714 to 7000', and one about 20 miles south of Cle Elum, WA to 10,000'. They were not shown on the FAA TFR site in the morning, and they are not showing on the site...

My Skyview system had EGT 1 & 2 when I got it (Rotax 912); recently, I added EGT 3 & 4. The new EGT values display properly on the EGT widget next to EGT 1 & 2, but they are not recorded in the USER_LOG_DATA file. What is going on, and how do I fix it?

My data log downloads often have two apparently identical files, one ending in ...B-USER_LOG_DATA.csv, and the other ending in ...-USER_LOG_DATA.csv (no "B"). What is the file with "B" in the name? I can't find an explanation in the version 15 operator's manual.

How can I display fuel quantity in tenths (xx.x) of a gallon, instead of integer gallons?

My 50% engine screen has fuel level widgets that show the amount of fuel by the height of the bar (see picture). I am unable to select this style for my 20% screen, which currently has the fuel level shown by the position of a small white horizontal bar. How do I change the horizontal bar type...

I'm currently using a 100 deg field-of-view (FOV) video camera to feed into the Skyview video adapter. That's fine for some uses, but some ground objects, like dust devils, are too small to see easily; for that, a 50 to 70 degree field of view would much better. I haven't been able to find an...

I have a Dynon com and intercom in my Phoenix U15 touring motorglider (Rotax 912 powered). Over the last couple of weeks, there's been an increasing amount of what sounds like ignition noise that gets worse (and higher frequency) at higher RPM in the air and on the ground. Originally, it was...

Cables cross rivers, and are sometimes strung across a valley or coulee. Are these crossings in the Skyview obstacle database? If not, is it possible to install a database that shows them?

April 9, I flew from RLD to AWO (Arlington, WA), then two shorter out and return flights from Arlington. The ADS-B radar images and traffic depiction appeared to work perfectly. April 10, I flew from AWO to RLD, and the ADS-B did not display any radar images, and the status showed this: ADS-B...

My Phoenix U15 touring motorglider has a 110 knot TAS cruise. The IAS value for that 110 knot value varies greatly from sea-level to 18000 feet, so I'd like a "tick mark" or other indication on the ASI tape, so I know the desired IAS for that 110 knot cruise. Currently, I have to find/look at...

I would like SV to show the extended runway center lines, with the runway numbers on the ends, just like Foreflight does - see picture. Even better, add small indicators for the pattern direction, which Foreflight doesn't have. Both would often be a real help at an unfamiliar airport...

The Red Cube was installed in the plane when I picked it up in Mar 2014, but none of the screens had a fuel flow widget on them, and I never checked the fuel flow setup. -I recently added a fuel flow widget to one of the screens, but it indicates 0.0 all the time. -The wiring is correct at...

I've had the plane with SV for about 10 months, and the wind vectors have always varied significantly with direction. Recently, I used the v12 in-flight compass calibration, achieving a green 100. The next flight, I checked the wind reading by flying N, W, S, E at the same altitude, IAS, and...

My SV-intercom has worked well for 11 months, but today, part way through a 20 minute flight, the pilot microphone would no longer break the intercom squelch. I could be heard by the passenger if I turned the squelch until the intercom hissed. - The passenger could be heard with the normal...

I've temporarily mounted a small "bullet" camera under my touring motorglider (Phoenix U15), just ahead of the landing gear. It displays the image on the Dynon SkyView monitor, using the Dynon video adapter. It's nice to see ahead of the plane while taxiing (the Phoenix is a tail dragger), and I...

I'm unable to attach images to my posting. When I try to do so, I get this message: NOTE: If you had an Attachment in your post, you will need to reselect the Attachment again in the Browser Box for security reasons. Reselecting the attachment, then trying to Preview, gets the same message...

I have a camera used with auto backup systems, which is small, swivel mounting, waterproof, wide temperature range, good picture, and cheap. That's all good, but it reverses the image, which is desirable when pointing backwards on a car, but that means the image is reversed on the SkyView...

I really like the animated radar weather images on Foreflight, but I can only get them on the ground. Occasionally, seeing how the weather system is moving would be very helpful while flying. When will SkyView be able to show us animated images?

I'm using clip-on sunglasses with my prescription glasses, but am only able to find the polarized style. I can read the 7" SV monitor well enough with them, but the LCD on the SV-COM radio is totally black unless I tip my head 70 degrees or so (the SV-COM is mounted horizontally). Is it possible...

In the SkyView Black Box log data, does a positive number represent a roll to the right? My vertical G load logs in 0.1 g increments, which seems quite coarse. Is that correct? The lateral G loading logs in 0.01 increments.
